The linked Ellison interview is pretty good.

I have a similar feeling about open-source software and engineering and development. As michealochurch pointed out, we're quite good at producing value, but shitty at capturing it.

I love helping out my fellow engineers and folks starting out, but the fact that the majority of projects are just going to be used to line some fucking MBA's pocketbook in saved expenses kinda sickens me.

and you gotta realize the response from the 'band' was most definitely not from Manson et al. but from the same crap ass marketing douche that send the original request.
